Elementary Wrap In Brume
Like morning mist nestled in a valley, our new Brume rolls in with a soft and mysterious beauty. Time to cast on for an Elementary Wrap!
This simple swath of stockinette stitch always pays homage to a favorite yarn with frank clarity. It also happens to be exactly what we want to wear day in and day out!
In mohair-wool-and-silk Brume, the Elementary Wrap is incredibly soft; it’s a little bit fluffy; it’s wonderfully warm; it’s airy and light; and most of all, it’s absolutely beautiful!
Brume comes in 25 inspiring colors, including this incredibly gorgeous Golden Lichen. In that strange world where it seems green and orange have mixed to form yellow, this color is our kind of mystery!
Materials
- 4 skeins of Purl Soho’s Brume, 58% mohair, 25% wool, and 17% silk. Each skein is 273 yards/ 50 grams; approximately 961 yards required. We used the color Golden Lichen.
- US 6, straight or 24-inch circular needles
Gauge
22 stitches and 30 rows = 4 inches in stockinette stitch
Size
Finished Dimensions: 18 inches wide x 70 inches long
Pattern
NOTE: We followed our original Elementary Wrap pattern but with a few tiny changes. Here is exactly what to do for this Brume version…
Cast on 97 stitches. We used a basic Long Tail Cast On.
Row 1 (wrong side): K1, p1, k1, purl to last three stitches, k1, p1, k1.
Row 2 (right side): K2, p1, knit to last three stitches, p1, k2.
Repeat Rows 1 and 2 until piece measures approximately 70 inches from cast-on edge, ending with a wrong-side row.
Bind-off Row (right side): Bind off in pattern.
Weave in the ends and wet block flat.

hi your pattern when you do will end up both sides as same, rather one of your pictures show purls as the wrong side. something is not right.
Hi Uma,
Thanks for reaching out! There is nothing wrong with this pattern! This pattern is worked in stockinette stitch so one side of the wrap is knit stitches and the other side of the wrap is purl stitches (Row 1 [wrong side]: K1, p1, k1, purl to last three stitches, k1, p1, k1. Row 2 [right side]: K2, p1, knit to last three stitches, p1, k2) We include the 1st 3 stitches (k1, p1 k1) as an edging to prevent curling.
I hope this clarifies the pattern for you!
All the best,
Gianna
Interested in buying enough to make shawl- Floats Cowl in Brume but with the mohair is it itchy?
Hi Elissa,
Thanks for reaching out! I think a wrap in the float stitch would be beautiful! 4 skeins should be plenty! Mohair may be itchy to some people but I find our Purl Soho mohair yarns to be quite comfortable to wear!
I hope this helps, happy knitting!

The golden lichen is out of stock. Is there a substitute yarn in golden lichen that would work?
Hi Mary,
Thanks for reaching out! The only other yarn we have in that shade is our other mohair Tussock! We have an Elementary Wrap pattern in Tussock available! Instead of using 2 shades of Tussock like we do in that pattern you could do both strands as Golden Lichen for the same effect as the Elementary Wrap in Brume!
I hope this helps, happy knitting!

That’s great news! I love the color.
In this pattern do you use two strands of Brume like you do in the Mineral Silk and Tussock pattern? I’m confused because of your previous comment about holding two stands of Brume together but the pattern doesn’t mention two strands. Thank you
Hi Margaret,
Thanks for reaching out! For this pattern you only use 1 strand of Brume! I believe you are referring to the comment where I mentioned holding 2 strands of Tussock together to achieve the gauge of 1 strand of Brume since it is a heavier weight yarn.
I hope this clarifies things!
All the best,
Gianna
Hi Margaret
I have a very sort neck. How many stitches will I need to make this scarf wearable for me?
Hi Judi,
Thanks for reaching out! I would recommend working more of a scarf size rather than a wrap size. I suggest casting on 61 stitches for a 11″ width!
All the best,
Gianna
